Abstract:
Our world has changed markedly. Our students are different in a myriad of ways than they were ten years back. Research in education is not perfect - that imperfection mirrors the complexity of the job we do and the people we teach - but we have a solid research base that should guide our decision-making as certainly as current research in medicine guides the work of doctors. And yet, we persist in teaching not only like we did ten years ago, or 30. Much of what we do in our classrooms in 2025 mirrors classrooms in the early 20th century and before.
